Harbor Country Cabins

My friends and I were actually jumping with glee as we walked into our adorable little cabin at Harbor Country Cabins. Love, love, love this place!
Harbor Country Cabins are for those who want to camp, but don’t want to do any of the work or sleep in a tent. There are all the perks of camping: serene wooded setting, grills and patio with furniture to dine al fresco, and a bonfire pit (we didn’t even have to build the fire.) Then there were added bonuses: screened in porch complete with mason jar lighting and fan, koi pond with lily pads and bull frogs to ease you into sleep, your own clean modern bathroom with plush towels and nice showers, a kitchen with any utensils you may need. This place is seriously unreal with quaint, calm vibes. I left feeling incredibly refreshed, and immediately wanting to book another stay.
Dogs are welcome here, and mine seemed right at home. She quickly figured out how to let herself out of the screened porch, and was happy to explore the cabin. Also it’s within a 15 minute drive from the Grand Mere State Park with a dog friendly beach.
This place is excellent for groups, since the price is very reasonable if you have 4 – 6 people stay in a cabin. I recommend Harbor Country Cabins to anyone looking for a short summer respite.

We stayed here for a weekend getaway. Relaxed atmosphere, comfy cabin, clean and private bathroom, plenty supplies available on site like grills, utensils and chairs. Love the pond with the bullfrogs! Tim was super nice, he even set up a private firepit behind our cabin for us. We found several diversions nearby — free beaches, Journeyman Distillery, Luisa’s Café, Friendly’s the grocery store, and of course the Warren Dunes. It was a great, affordable escape from Chicago. Only complaint is the construction on the highway in Indiana. We plan to come back later this summer!

Cozy, friendly, relaxed fun at an affordable price!
I just got back from a bachelorette weekend including a nights’ stay at the Snooty Fox with four of my girlfriends. We did a winery tour in the daytime, then went back to the cabin for dinner and games. The owner had our cabin all ready, fresh sheets ready to go on the beds, cold fridge, and a stack of firewood ready to go on the handy screened porch. Fresh towels for all of us were stacked in the immaculate bathroom.
We used the charcoal he had ready for us to get the mini grill going, and just relaxed at the picnic table while the coals heated up. Meanwhile, the only other family at the resort let their kids run around happily in the twilight, and lit a beautiful fire in the communal fire pit. We realized we’d forgotten bottled water, and asked the owner if there was a place to buy it nearby. He told us the tap water was perfectly safe, or there’s a shop close by. We were perfectly happy with tap water, but he took the time to bring us a wicker tray complete with Mason jars of fresh water and a pitcher for backup. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and the kind of thing you can only experience at a privately owned, well-​run place like the Snooty Fox; as a bunch of city gals, were were quite impressed!
We were up late, made s’mores, and chatted with the owner by the fire before falling into bed. Falling asleep to rain, then waking up in the morning with sparkly dew on the grass was a delight.
We’ll definitely be back!

Our family had a lot of fun staying at Snooty Fox when we visited SW Michigan, and agree that it’s a very good deal. We highly recommend it.
It’s sort of a «camping light» experience — it’s nice to have the cabins (rather than a tent) when it rains, though you still do have to walk to your restroom in the rain (not a big deal, especially since they leave a «loaner» umbrella on your porch, in case you forgot one at home). There’s a fire ring to roast marshmallows/​etc on, or you can use a little charcoal grill if you prefer. The «yard» between the cabins/​lodge/​restrooms is well maintained and the pine trees give it a nice smell.
The service/​hospitality is great. We felt very welcome, and our kids had a blast (it’s a very kid-​friendly place). But as other said, it’s quiet, so even if you were trying to «get away» and there’s a family w/​kids there, the kids will be in a different cabin (rather than, say, a hotel room next door).

My hubby and I love this place! It’s a quick weekend getaway from Chicago. We loved our cabin and the campground that comes with everything you need — especially the hammock is enjoyable with glass of wine and a fire at night. We highly recommend this place!

for the price you get, it really is a sweet deal. each cabin comes with both a small and large grill: two full sized beds, an enclosed porch, and a private shower for you to use (with combination and a lock so no surprises). not to mention the lodge steps away from you with free wifi and an extra shower if you don’t want to wait for your cabin mate to finish. the bull frogs are indeed there. we had cabin number 5 which was closest to the lodge but i didn’t mind considering i had some work to do. there’s also a kitchen in the lodge and a hammock within steps of the lodge.
samantha is right, it literally is the closest thing you’ll get to a weekend in the country with modern amenities. you are very close to all the wineries, an organic grocery, antique shops, and cute restaurants everywhere. not to mention the beach!
the only thing i have to complain about is to fix the screen door so mosquitoes don’t come in.
